It's largely white people who created and defend the system that allows companies to behave in such a manner. Besides Bernie Sanders (who no one likes, according to Hillary Clinton), the socialist movement is made up of people like AOC, Shahid Buttar, Ilhan Omar, etc.

Please cut the white shaming.

Please cut the white shaming.

68k overdoses in 2018. Whites make up maybe 70% of those, so 48k out of a white population of 200 million. 1/4000. How much of that was junkie behavior vs medical incidents by poor pharma rollouts of opioids to treat pain?

People have been braying about the "browning of America" for 30+ years, with the concomitant extinction of the white privileged race (not that Irish are exactly one with Hungarians). It's full of hyperbole.

Maybe this is more what's bothering whites:

Excellent article. I have seen some pretty dysfunctional relationships occur when a white liberal showed up in the environment of X group of people and seemed to assume that their presence alone would have them praised as saviors.

Trump helped pass the First Step Act, let a lot of people out of jail and largely ended the Drug War as a result. That alone is probably why he picked up a lot of minority votes compared to other Republicans (but not as many as Democrats have gotten, obviously).

The browning of America is underway. Whites are not marrying or having children with one another, they're doing drugs and committing suicide, cancelling and not talking with one another, and not leaving a whole lot behind for future generations. Trump's xenophobia was a knee jerk response to all that. We can't go on with notions of people that are completely dependent on how they relate to whites but instead need to consider how they relate to themselves.
